"Had I known earlier, I would have persevered a little more. I'd have followed that woman. If you had followed Dad, you'd be in a better state than you are in now." Ye Qianqian looked at Ye Youyou. Her heart was filled with sympathy and another complex emotion that she couldn't name. "You've really suffered."

"Older Sister, I want to get discharged," Ye Youyou said.

"No way," Ye Qianqian said.

The objection was firm as expected. This time, it wasn't from Ye Qianqian's lips. It was a man's voice. The voice was low and smooth like a cello. It came from a young man who was standing tall with an imposing and aggressive aura.

Ye Qianqian saw him and called out in surprise, "It's you?"

Ye Youyou looked at the man. Her eyes carried a complicated expression as she greeted him, "GM Li."

When Li Jinnan saw the state that Ye Youyou was in, his brows creased together. "How did you get yourself into this state?"

Li Jinnan's aura was too intense. It felt like that of a warrior on a battlefield. He exuded it without restraint. This man did not seem too happy.

Ye Qianqian couldn't help but take a step back. She glanced at Ye Youyou and asked, "Is this your boss?"

Ye Youyou answered in the affirmative and turned her focus back to Li Jinnan to apologize. "I'm sorry, GM Li. I've failed to live up to your expectations."

Tch! She is being so courteous! It's almost as if they are strangers.

Ye Qianqian could roughly tell that there was something ambiguous and inexplicable going on between the two individuals.

It was predictable that GM Li would proceed to make his way to Ye Youyou's side and speak warmly to her. "It's OK, as long as you're fine." Or, perhaps he would say, "There's no need to speak like that with me."

In reality, the guy did not stick to the script.

When Li Jinnan heard Ye Youyou's words, his perfect facial features turned hard. He walked up and said, "Since you know that, don't do anything else stupid! If you get yourself discharged now, are you intending for all the money I've invested in you to go down the drain?"

His words were harsh.

If Ye Youyou continued to insist on wanting to be discharged, that would make her an ungrateful and contemptuous person.

Ye Qianqian silently gave Li Jinnan a huge thumbs-up from within.

When Ye Youyou heard him, her heart felt even more unsettled. She looked down and replied, "I'm sorry, but I do not want that person to pay for my hospital bills any longer."

Shen Luo'an had insisted on footing her medical bills. Regardless of how she objected or what Ye Qianqian said, he insisted on sending money to the hospital ever so punctually.

The purpose of his action was just to let Ye Youyou know that since he had married her, he would take responsibility for her. That was not the kind of responsibility she wanted him to take.

Li Jinnan raised his eyebrows. "That person? Your husband?"

The last two words were like a thorn, piercing painfully. Every time he thought of her, Li Jinnan would remind himself once again that she was a married woman.

"Yeah," she said.

"This is considered a work-related accident," Li Jinnan said. "The company will pay for all your hospital expenses. I will return all the money your husband has paid back to him. I will also hire a caregiver for you. Just focus on your recovery. When you're well, don't forget to help me earn my money."

Li Jinnan was of a tall and big build. Both his hands were in his front pockets. He looked at Ye Youyou and finally took a hand out. When he reached that hand out, there was a piece of candy in his palm. It was candy wrapped in a colorful reflective wrapper.

Ye Qianqian looked at the candy. Her eyes widened.

Li Jinnan tossed the candy over to Ye Youyou awkwardly and said, "I got this from my niece. I'm going now."
